Six first-year eligible candidates are among the 27 semifinalists for the Pro Football Hall of Fame Class of 2013.

The Hall normally forwards 25 semifinalists, but there was a three-way tie for the final slot this year, so two extras were sent on. The Hall’s selection committee will reduce the list to 15 finalists in January, from which no more than five will be inducted into the Hall.

A lot of people forget Lewis was a hell of a ST player. I've seen him block punts, FGs and even an extra point. They finally started putting 2 guys out to block him.
Curley Culp was a great D-lineman. I hope he gets the nod.
Will Shields is a no-brainer. Him pulling on a sweep was a thing of beauty.
